Rams Signing QB Jared Goff To Four-Year Extension

Update:

Adam Schefter reports that the Rams have agreed to terms on a four-year, $134 million extension that includes an NFL record $110 million guaranteed. 

The Los Angeles Rams have already announced their agreement with QB Jared Goff.

Mike Silver of NFL Media reports that the Rams and QB Jared Goff have has agreed to a four-year contract extension that keeps him under team control through the 2024 season. 

• According to Ian Rapoport, the two sides have made “significant progress” on a long-term deal that will pay him over $32 million per year. 

Reports from a few months ago mentioned that Goff and the Rams could wait until next year to address his contract. However, it appears as though things changed and they’re now prepared to have a deal in place before the start of the season. 

Carson Wentz has the same representatives as Goff and agreed that a four-year, $128 million extension with the Eagles that will pay him $32 million per year, so it’s likely this will end up being a comparable contract.

Goff, 24, was the No. 1 overall pick by the Rams out of Cal back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year deal worth $27.9 million. 

The Rams picked up Goff’s fifth-year option that would have cost them $22.783 million and become fully guaranteed at the start of the 2020 league year. 

In 2018, Goff started all 16 games for the Rams. He completed 364 out of 561 passes (64.9 completion percentage) for 4688 yards, 32 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns.
